Assigning rights to change sidebars

The Custom Sidebars Pro plugin is great. I'm struggling with a use case that perhaps isn't as you intended, but I'll throw it out there and see what you think.

My site is primarily based on pages. I have several user types that allows for the editing of pages, but not creation. I also have the typical subscriber role for posting comments, and such.

The problem I am facing is that I don't seem to be able to control WHO is able to change/select a new sidebar to appear in pages/posts. It appears that all users have the right to assign a new sidebar, regardless of their WordPress rights.

This is actually by design. If a user is able to create posts then they can also adjust the sidebar on their posts. It is possible we could hide this meta box for certain user roles though through a bit of code. Is that what you are wanting to do?

If you would rather go the mu-plugins route instead of adding the code to your functions.php (ie. you plan on swapping themes) then I've attached the zipped up plugin file, just unzip and upload the file to /wp-content/mu-plugins/ if mu-plugins folder doesnt' exist then just create it.
